That'¬?s just a whiff of what's in store in this breathtaking follow-up to the best-selling fart history, WHO CUT THE CHEESE?In BLAME IT ON THE DOG, eminent fartologist Jim Dawson sniffs out the latest and greatest new items of the past century, from flatulent robot dogs and fart fetishists to poot-proof underwear and anti-stink pills. In fifty breezy chapters, he spills the beans about scientific (wind)breakthroughs, celebrity butt rumblings, and real-life fartistes like Flatulina Fontanelle Boutier, cyberspace entertainer the Queen of Farts, and Mr. Methane, England'¬?s Prince of Poots.

That would fit with the company’s attempt to transform a tame Animal House or Tommy Boy wannabe into a butt-bang fiesta. First was the title change from Artie to F.A.R.T. The Movie, even though Artie’s farting never affects the direction of the story or gets him into (or out of) real trouble. The new cover art was a red Whoopee Cushion, and the new

LE PETOMANE—FLATAL ATTRACTION Is the world ready for Le Petomania? Even though he’s no longer here to blow his own trumpet, Joseph Pujol, better known as Le Petomane, may be ready for his comeback. Who said his career was behind him? His career was always behind him. It’s been over 110 years now since Pujol breezed into Belle

thirty-second flubberbubber, not Junior’s 464 firecrackers, that won the F-Emmy for Best Farting Moment. Since nobody could get Will on the phone, actor William Shatner, who has his own fart history (see chapter 27), came in to accept the award (a green bust of a black, bucktoothed midget named Beetlejuice, who’s a regular on the show) and remarked that the F-Emmy indeed conferred the “sweet smell of success” on Will the Farter.

The other players will decide what you scored on the fart meter on the gameboard. You will then be awarded the appropriate number of gas coupons. If you can’t create a real fart, we have included suggestions on how to make one artificially. As a last resort we have included a whoopee cushion for those who are truly incompetent.
